The 515th Southern Expeditionary Army's Influence on the Great Song Dynasty 1

This matter naturally hurts Tianhe, but since Da Yue Guo himself did something that hurts Tianhe first, Cai Dao also let go of his compassion.

Whoever kills, he will always kill him.

However, such a grand scene, Cai Dao is 'unblessed'.

This time, although the work of Gonggong Hu and his apprentices was a little tiring, it was much easier than the work of recruiting eunuchs in the palace. (I won't go into more detail here)

Sure enough, when Cai Dao wanted to visit the Zongniu people, the prefect slipped away in advance.

Because of the large number of pigs in Vietnam, it must be necessary to have enough troops to suppress it. Therefore, this time, Zhao Xu secretly sent 20,000 forbidden troops who were not wearing military uniforms to come here to suppress them, and the generals who led the army were Cao Hu and Guo Shudang.

These two people were not expected by Cai Dao.

What happened in Bianliang City, Cao Hu and Guo Shudang couldn't solve Cai Dao's doubts, because after Guo Zhongxiao and his party arrived in Beijing, the two of them were immediately sent out by Zhao Xu.

Moreover, they never knew what mission they were carrying out this time, until Cai Dao's arrival, they understood.

The influence of the Southern Expeditionary Army on the Great Song Dynasty was far-reaching,

It is beyond the scope of Cai Dao's own imagination.

First of all, the Western Xia Kingdom finally sent troops,

Secondly, in Bianliang City, Zhao Xu could not send a sufficient number of forbidden troops capable of participating in the war to support the northwest and occupy the territory of the Great Yue State that Cai Dao had already captured.

If Cai Dao personally sits in Dayue Kingdom, it will be safe, but Zhao Xu does not want Cai Dao to sit in it, I am afraid that Cai Dao himself is not happy.

This is a very real problem that Cai Dao did not think of before.

Before, the forbidden army in Bianliang City was so powerful that it had almost reached the point of two out of ten, and the newly recruited forbidden army was simply useless, even if they were sent to the battlefield, they would only be sent to death.

Moreover, these newly recruited recruits have just undergone only a month of training and have devoted themselves to the vigorous tuntian business in the Gyeonggi region.

This is indeed the pot that Cai Dao buried for himself, and if you want to blame him, he will only be blamed for sending troops too quickly, and the progress is too smooth. The newly recruited soldiers in Jingzhong and Quang Nam West Road were not given enough time to grow.

Cai Daonan's battle was too dazzling, but it did not hide the real military strength of the Great Yue Kingdom.

When the Song army captured Shenglong City, neither Li Qiande nor Li Changjie could survive the news, and finally reached the ears of the border army of the Great Yue Kingdom, the result was as Cai Dao had predicted, and the generals of the border army of the Great Yue Kingdom fell into a complete madness. As soon as he got accurate information, he really immediately led his army into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only later did I know that this border army general of the Great Yue Kingdom was Li Qiande's righteous son, and he was also trained by Li Changjie. He was not very keen on power from below, but he was a military maniac, so it's no wonder he behaved so crazy.

However, this time, because the border military of the Great Song Dynasty had been prepared in advance, Lu Huiqing's military strategy was not bad, he only needed to send troops to strictly guard the checkpoints on the border.

Therefore, even though the Great Yue Kingdom has been frantically attacking the border pass, it has never been able to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

It's just that the war that took place on the southernmost border of the Great Song Dynasty turned into a complete war of attrition.

Although the besieging side suffered heavy casualties, the Song army was all new soldiers after all, and the number of casualties at the border pass was also not small. The frantic attack of the border army of the Great Viet Kingdom made the casualty ratio of the two sides almost reach one for two.

That's right, it is to exchange the life of a border army of the Great Yue State for the wounded or killed of the border army of the Great Song Kingdom. You know, this is a siege war! The casualties of the defending side were so high.

Fortunately, although Cai Dao did not come to this extremely cruel battlefield in person, he himself still affected the battle situation on the Song-Yue border.

This is the positive and benign impact of the field hospital advocated by Cai Dao.

If in the past, in the face of such a frantic attack by the Great Viet Kingdom, no matter whether the border passes were strong or not, the fragile southern soldiers would have collapsed long ago.

However, this time, it was really because of the existence of a field hospital that the border army in the south of the Great Song Kingdom finally withstood the crazy attack of the border army of the Great Yue Kingdom.

When the border army of Da Viet attacked the country, even if the soldiers of the other side were slightly injured, the final result was still difficult to escape. The humid and hot weather in the south can exacerbate the injury.

On the side of the Song Dynasty, due to the fact that the lightly wounded were treated in time, and the system developed by Tian Yuyi finally made the same as the system developed by Dali Baiyao, which also allowed those lightly injured to recover in a short time, and they were able to return to the battlefield.

In the case of the trade-off, the military superiority of the Great Viet Kingdom was gradually lost, and the morale was greatly reduced due to the death of a large number of soldiers.

The war has been fought for two whole months, and there is still no end in sight, and Lu Huiqing can only maintain the morale of the army. Wanting to launch a decent counteroffensive now seems to be completely delusional.

Moreover, the recruits recruited by Lu Huiqing from the south, although they are more adapted to the weather than the forbidden army, are too vulnerable. From this point of view, the southerners of the Great Song Dynasty were not good material for serving as soldiers.

Eventually, before the rainy season approached, the war, which seemed unusually crazy to both sides, finally came to an end.

The other lieutenants of the border army of the Yue Kingdom united, strangled their main generals, and elected those in the army to be distant relatives of the Da Yue royal family and take the throne in the army.

Only then did the border army of the Great Viet State withdraw to the pass of the Great Viet State defense.

In the end, because Cai Dao suddenly dismissed the two chief and deputy commanders, it caused huge controversy inside and outside the government and the opposition.

It's still nice to say that the controversy is good, because the vast majority of the Wenchen and the imperial historians wrote to impeach Cai Dao. Cai Jing is okay, he is the middle of the imperial history, as long as he is like everyone else, he can impeach Cai Dao in a book, but Cai Bian has fallen into blood mold, and he, the newly appointed secretary of the military department, is just the right person, so he is naturally implicated.

Even Cai Bian himself wrote a book to impeach his son, but it was useless at all. Even Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu also directly pointed the finger at Cai Bian, but the two of them did not follow the trend to impeach Cai Dao.

On the contrary, in this turmoil, Han Jin, the lone minister who was also implicated, did not look at it, and at the court meeting, someone pointed at his nose and scolded him in front of the officials, and he also smiled.

To win is to win,

No one can deny this result.

Cai Dao pooled his own money to recruit soldiers, and finally took down the enemy that the famous general Guo Kui personally led 300,000 forbidden troops did not take, and this is the result. That's the reality.

The civil and military officials were not satisfied, but the Western Xia Kingdom had already sent troops to attack Huanqing Road.

At this time, why didn't these people take the initiative to ask Ying to relieve the worries of the official family like Cai Dao?

Li Qiande's family was brought to Bianliang City, and in the new era name of the official family, it was enough to comfort the heroic soul of the first emperor, and it was also enough to soothe the pain experienced by the people in the past eight years. If the forbidden army in the capital is satisfied, and the people of the world are satisfied, then it is enough.

As for the conflict between Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu and Cai Bian, it was also because Cai Bian was too strong and relied too much on his identity as Wang Anshi's son-in-law, so he wanted to be the successor of Wang Anshi's reform, although his idea won the approval of some middle and low-level officials of the reform faction.

But Cai Bian forgot that he was just a secretary of the military department, and now, the official family no longer wants the kind of prime minister and privy envoy who has monopoly power, and Han Zhen himself and Han Zhongyan also have this understanding, so they have been trying their best to avoid such a situation. But as long as Zhao Xu did not ask the two of them for their opinions, Han Zhen and Han Zhongyan were very wise not to say a word about the government.

It seems that Cai Bian is the only one who has never seen the situation clearly, since Zhao Xu came into power, the ecological environment of the imperial court has undergone drastic changes.

Therefore, Zhang Dian and Zeng Bu will definitely try their best to drive Cai Bian out of the capital.

The chief official of the six departments, the head of the household department, is just a puppet of Zhang Dan. Zhao Xu completely handed over the financial power of the Great Song Kingdom to Zhang Dun, the third envoy.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs could not participate in much political affairs at all, but the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites were noble officials.
